4 0 M A C O N M A G A Z I N E . C O M A P R I L / M AY 2 0 1 9 THE MISSION OF THE FOUNDATION IS: The Otis Redding Foundation's mission is to empower, enrich and motivate all young people through programs involving music, writing and instrumentation. HOW DO YOU DEFINE SUCCESS? By doing what you love every day and making a difference in people's lives, whether that's a small way or a life- changing way. Use your resources to better the world around you. THE MOST GRATIFYING PART OF MY JOB: Bringing music to a young person is such a joy. There are so many kids in this community who don't get the chance to pick up an instrument, and it can make the biggest difference in their lives, both socially and academically. THE BEST ADVICE I'VE EVER RECEIVED: It comes from my mother, Zelma, who taught me to always fight for what I believe and never back down. Karla Redding-Andrews OTIS REDDING FOUNDATION 478-742-5737 otisreddingfoundation.org PHOTO BY MARYANN BATES THE MISSION OF YOUR PRACTICE IS: To educate, empower and create a mindset for optimal healthcare through chiropractic by administering spinal adjustments to as many people as possible in an environment that encourages wellness and tranquility. YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED THAT: I am the first African-American woman to practice in Macon. WHAT ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT RIGHT NOW? The growth potential is high for entrepreneurship, and the financial opportunities are available to start your own business. In my industry, more individuals are focusing on alternative heath options such as chiropractic. Although the field of chiropractic is not as diverse as it should be, the needle is slowly moving in this direction. THE MOST GRATIFYING PART OF MY JOB: The relationships that I create and nurture through patient care.
